Summary
[edit]DescriptionFarm track to Tyddyn Watcyn - geograph.org.uk - 992846.jpg |
English: Farm track to Tyddyn Watcyn. It was at this gate that the blue Morris driven by Bodedern GP, Dr Mark William Chill (60), with his 30 year old second wife, Marjorie, and his 73 year old mother-in-law as passengers, was hit by the burning Vickers Wellington DV455 from 28 OTU, RAF Castle Donington, at 14.25 on the afternoon of 19, July, 1943. The doctor who had moved to Anglesey in 1939 to escape the horrors of war was doing home visits in the Llanddeusant and Llanrhuddlad areas - his wife and mother in law regularly travelled with him on his rounds. Chill initially escaped with minor injuries, but went back into the inferno in a futile attempt to rescue his wife. Clothes alight he ran down towards Plas Llanfigael SH3282 where he was treated by the woman of the house, Mrs Grace Pritchard, and by Ernest Naish, a naval officer, and son of a local farmer, home on leave. Naish rushed Chill by car to Valley Hospital where he died the next day. The Chills, husband and wife, are buried at Bodedern. The five man crew of the aircraft had already baled out, but one died when his parachute became detached. He was the Wireless Operator, 20 year old Sgt. R.A.B. Jepson RAFVR of Derby. By sheer coincidence, a Vampire T11 jet from RAF Valley crashed at the same spot on the 24th of April, 1961.
